Our Values and Code
Values are a judgement, a lasting belief of what is important in life.
The Glasgow Academy values are what we collectively hold in the greatest regard for the benefit of our community and have the greatest capacity for having a positive impact on others.
Our Code is an agreed way of working and being amongst the school community to ensure that collectively all can flourish.
We are committed to serving our Academy community. Through our work we aim to encourage all within this community to adopt this code.
